The river of history takes curious turns doesn't it? 9/11 was something which rallied us as a nation because of the obvious threat to us all. I haven't wavered on supporting President Bush because of it. But, curiously, Republicans lost some close elections in 2006, and just as curiously, most of them quickly conceded. Why? Strange is it not, that Republicans were targeted for prosecutions more so than Democrats before the elections? Strange is it not, that so soon after the elections, this abomination is being forced upon us? And now conveniently, we may not have enough Republicans to stand up against a President who says the citizens of this nation: “don’t want to do what’s right for America.” What a horrid, ghastly thing to say!

Fast forward to the present and we have the makings of a political 9/11, in the form of a betrayal of Republicans who trusted their President and their party. And I mean this in the strongest sense, this attempt at "reform" can have destructive consequences far in excess of what happened on 9/11. (Note too it is cynical slap in the face of the immigrants who followed the rules.)

And here is a point that cannot be emphasized enough. It flatly doesn't matter what is written in the law, and it doesn't matter what the politicians say what the law is, or what they promise it will do. As soon as the Democrats get into power, they will appoint weasel department heads, prosecutors, and judges who will promptly ignore or deliberately fail to enforce the law in order to gain more voters for the Democrats.

This is not immigration reform. It is the deliberate introduction of chaos into American life and there will be no "cost benefit."

“...in both elections, W was the lesser of the two

Exactly, and this is what chaps me. Our side was thinking about “who will be able to win” rather than “who will uphold and be faithful to conservatism”. We’ve got to stop thinking like that. If we’re going to elect liberals and other socialists, what’s the point of a second party? IMHO, it is better to lose to a liberal than to win with a faux conservative. The lib damages the nation, but the faux conservative damages the nation and destroys the integrity of conservatives. We need to better utilize out primaries.

Yes.
